Answer:

A 1 1/2 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the amount of miles he can row in 1/4 of an hour (3/8) and multiply it by 4, since it will tell you how many miles he can row in one hour. You get 12/8 miles per hour, which simplifies to 1 1/2 miles per hour

Hopefully this helps - let me know if you have any questions!

Apply Newton’s method to estimate the solution of x3 − x − 1 = 0 by taking x1 = 1 and finding the least n such that xn and xn +

ss7ja [257]

Solution :

Given

$f(x)=x^3-x-1, x_1=1$

$f'(x)=3x^2-1$

Let the initial approximation is $x_1 =1$

So by Newton's method, we get

$x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)},n=1,2,...$

$x_2=x_1-\frac{f(x_1)}{f'(x_1)}=1-\frac{1^3-1-1}{3(1)^2-1}=1.5$

$x_3=1.5-\frac{(1.5)^3-1.5-1}{3(1.5)^2-1}=1.34782608$

$x_4=1.34782608-\frac{(1.34782608)^3-1.34782608-1}{3(1.34782608)^2-1}=1.32520039$

$x_5=1.32520039-\frac{(1.32520039)^3-1.32520039-1}{3(1.32520039)^2-1}=1.32471817$

$x_6=1.32471817-\frac{(1.32471817)^3-1.32471817-1}{3(1.32471817)^2-1}=1.32471795$

$x_5 \approx x_6$ are identical up to eight decimal places.

The approximate real root is x ≈ 1.32471795

∴ x = 1.32471795

A rug is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 276276 ftft. the length is 5 times as long as5 times as long as the width. f

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Width = w

Length = 5w

Given,

Perimeter = 276 ft

5w * w = 276

w² = 55.2

--- w = 7.429670248402684 ≈ 7.43 ft

--- l = 5w = 5*7.43 = <span>37.14835124201342 </span>≈ 37.15 ft

The art teacher has 30 boxes of crayons with 16 cans in each box she gives the students 10 of the boxes to use explain how to fi

Mamont248 [21]

I'm going to assume you meant crayon instead of can:

First step is to find how many boxes she/he has left.

30 - 10 = 20

So the teacher has 20 boxes left;

Now, knowing that each box has 16 crayons, then we simply multiply the 20 by 16 to find the total number of crayons left over:

20 x 16 = 320

So the art teacher has 320 crayons left over.

Hope this helps!

adam wants to compare the fractions 3/12,1/6, and 1/3.he wants to order them from least to greatest and rewrite them so they all

Digiron [165]

3/12 ; 1/6 ; 1/3

Adam must first get the least common multiple of each denominator.

12 : 12, 24, 36
6 : 6, 12, 18
3 : 3, 6, 9, 12

12 is the least common denominator.

We, then, multiply each denominator by a number that will produce 12.

12 x 1 = 12
6 x 2 = 12
3 x 4 = 12

Each number multiplied to the denominator must be the number used to multiply each numerator.

3/12 * 1/1 = 3/12
1/6 * 2/2 = 2/12
1/3 * 4/4 = 4/12

Since they now share a common denominator, the numerator will become the basis of the fraction's value. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction's value.

Fractions in order from least to greatest = 2/12 ; 3/12 ; 4/12

Substitute each fraction with its original fraction:
2/12 ⇒ 1/6 : least
3/12 ⇒ 3/12 : middle
4/12 ⇒ 1/3 : greatest
